JUST AS WE WERE ABOUT TO MAIL YOU 
THE ENCLOSED APPEAL 

THESE PICTUR ES ARRIVED FROM RUSSIA 

And we send them on to you sincerely believing 
that they will impress you with the horrcrs and 
distress, the starvation and misery of the Russian 
people, the same as they have impressed us. 

Graves everywhere. Dying and dead every- 
where. Babies too weak to cry gaze appealingly 
towards you for a swallow of milk. Mothers, 
children, men — -thousands upon thousands of them, 
would thank you for a haniful of grain. 

You can do something. You can relieve the 
ageny. You can help save thousands of lives. 
You can help the workers of Soviet Russia in their 
struggle. 

In Soviet Russia there has not been enough to 
eat for six years. Blockaded and starving they 
hurled back Koltchak; hungry they defeated Deni- 
kin and Wrangel. These attacks, financed by 
European powers to wreck Soviet Russia, devastated 
province after province. Then the drought. Then 
the famine. Has a people ever been more un- 
fortunate? 

Were trade established,, were credits extended, 
Soviet Russia could the better help herself. Until 
then, your every support is needed. 

The Russian workers' struggle is your struggle. 
Their battle for freedom, whether you fully agree 
with all they hiwe attempted or not, is your battle. 
Give generously of the little you have, so that 
they may set their house in order, 

MAY THESE PICTURES MOVE YOU TO ACTION 
THIS IS OUR HOPE! 

FRIENDS OF SOVIET RUSSIA

others who should be reached and who will. help.
